We had our wedding on June 13th 2025 and the whole experience with Craftwood Peaks was amazing and beautiful! Natalie and Jenny were awesome and very professional to work with. All the vendors they recommended were wonderful. All my guests had such an amazing time and said it was a classy fairy tale wedding! I can't say thank you enough to Natalie she's so sweet and such a delight and I'm really going to miss her!

I had my wedding here June 15, it was beautiful and my mom told me later that it raining everywhere but in manitou which was amazing. I want to say that during our rehearsal, the venue staff was more worried about the people touring the venue, who haven’t booked their wedding yet, than the ones who already paid thousands of dollars to have their wedding there. When we picked our food during the planning meetings, we were never allowed to try any of the options and day of it was ALL gross and luke warm, cold meat and warm greens.I barely saw the staff during the wedding except when they were switching out or needed something from me. I’m very disappointed with how they treated us on our wedding day. With the rehearsal at 1, we were informed we could go through it as many times as we needed / wanted. But when 2 came, we were forced to leave because the wedding party was getting there for their wedding at 4.

Our wedding was such a beautiful occasion! Special thanks to Jenny, the banquet captain, Natalie, the coordinator, and Tyler, the bartender.

Our wedding was perfect and our planner Jenny was amazing! I'll never have to come back, but I will always recommend this venue. It's absolutely gorgeous, the food was amazing, staff was very attentive, and i can't think of a single thing to complain about. Thanks again for helping make our day perfect!

We were absolutely blown away by how affordable a wedding is here for all that you get. Violet has been absolutely amazing helping us plan our wedding, and we are so so excited to keep working with everyone at Craftwood. Violet, Natalie, Jenny and Katie are an amazing team to work with!

I recently attended my best friend’s wedding at this venue as a bridesmaid, and unfortunately, several issues made the experience less than ideal.

To start, there was a significant mishap when the staff dropped one of the wedding cakes. It was an unfortunate incident, and the venue’s handling of it didn’t inspire much confidence. They also nearly forgot to return the cake toppers, which we only got back because we remembered to ask.

The photobooth was another disappointment. Not only was it not working properly for a while, but some of the props we brought and custom-made for the wedding were never put out. When we asked the staff about it, they insisted that the props weren’t there without actually checking, only for us to find them later. Additionally, other props went missing entirely after the event, which was frustrating.

The rehearsal was also a mess, as the planner showed up 40 minutes late and claimed it was due to another meeting with the venue. This really impacted our timeline and caused unnecessary stress before the big day. If she had something to attend to, they should have let her go from the meeting on time.

It’s also worth mentioning that the venue has get-ready areas, but you aren’t allowed to use them until right before the wedding. We had to get special permission just to use them 2 hours before the ceremony, instead of the 1.5 hours they initially allowed. This policy made getting prepared far more stressful than it needed to be. I have to wonder if the venue was probably run much more smoothly before Wedgewood bought it. It used to be an independent wedding venue, but since being taken over by a corporate entity, it seems the "getting ready" areas are more for show or leaving belongings in.

The bartender came across as annoyed to be there. This reflected in the service, as he forgot to make my drink on more than one occasion or made it incorrectly. Although the drinks themselves when I got them were great.

The Caesar salad served during the reception had croutons already mixed in, even though the venue was aware that there were gluten-free guests. It would have been considerate to keep the croutons separate to accommodate everyone’s dietary needs since the bride and groom were so clear about the gluten free options. The charcuterie board after the ceremony also ran out of crackers with still a lot of cheese remaining.

The parking situation was also a little confusing and not clearly marked. While the dancing room was beautiful, it became quite hot with only one visible AC unit in a corner, which wasn’t sufficient to keep the room cool.

Overall, while the venue had its nice moments, and the venue itself and space is beautiful. The lack of attention to detail, mishandling of important elements, and poor communication left a lot to be desired.

9.22.24 was a day to never forget. Special thanks to Katie and Liam. They went above and beyond to make our day feel effortless and unforgettable. 10-10 would recommend!

We had a lovely wedding at Craftwood Peak. Katie did a wonderful job of making sure everything flowed throughout the day and into dinner. Our banquet captain, Liam, was phenomenal and made a great night perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous and our guests all were gushing about how wonderful the venue and food were. My only real criticism was a few areas where communication was lacking, mostly regarding scheduled tastings and catering service options. But overall I wouldn't change anything about my time working with them,

The venue was clean, organized, and cozy. Amazing staff. The food was absolutely amazing. The DJ tonight killed it(and he was handsome lol) I had a wonderful time so did the bride and groom. Recommend highly for a brilliant yet cozy wedding.

Our experience with Craftwood Peak for our wedding was amazing! It is such a beautiful venue and we fell in love with the building right away. From our initial tour all the way through send off after our ceremony and reception, Craftwood was a joy to work with and took great care of us. Even though we were planning from out of state, they made the process easy and made sure everything was covered. There were many extra little touches that really stood out – from a printed photo at our sweetheart table of us just after getting married to being sent off at the end of the night with an extra meal and cake. We especially loved the 5 minutes to ourselves just after getting married with a spread of appetizers and our favorite drinks. Our coordinators, Katie and Natalie, were a joy to work with and so on top of everything. They really made our wedding day go smoothly and allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our day.
